memory system

Question 1

what happens in the memory system

Answer 1

all sesnes feed lots to the CNS
this means the layer can switch attention

Question 2

where is the info held

Answer 2

shot term sensory store
each sense has a store
coded message for each stimulus compared to info held in long term in order to identify it
sensory memory held in STSS fades and is lost, happens before we conscious

Question 3

what are the different stages in the memory model

Answer 3

STSS
short term memory
decision making

Question 4

what happens on the stss stage of the memeory model

Answer 4

area of the brain that receives info and holds it for a short time prior processing

Question 5

what happens in the short term memory stage of thr memory model

Answer 5

keeps info for 20-30 secs after it is deemed worthy info, cam separate into 5-9 sections of info

Question 6

what happens in the decision making stage of the memory model

Answer 6

decides what to do or passed on info to the long term memory for permanent storage

Question 7

what happens in the long term memory stage in the memory model

Answer 7

retains info for long time, not forgotten but can require a code for the info to be recalled

Question 8

what is reaction time

Answer 8

time between the onset of stimulus to the start of a response.

Question 9

what is response time

Answer 9

time it takes to process info and then make a response

Question 10

what is the equation for response time

Answer 10

response time = reaction time + movement time

Question 11

what is movement time

Answer 11

time it takes to complete onset of movement

Question 12

what does hicks law suggest

Answer 12

if several stimuli are given only one must be selected for a response.
choice must be made of which stimuli to respond to
more choices a person has the more info needs processing and the longer it takes

Question 13

factors affecting reaction time

Answer 13

age
gender
height
stimulus intensity
arousal level
anticipation
importance

Question 14

implication of reaction time to the coach

Answer 14

suitable selection of sport
reaction speed drills
work on set pieces
proper warm up
levels of motivation

Question 15

what happens in psychological refraction period

Answer 15

PRP is what happens when following an intital stimulus there is presentation of. second stimulus
PRP is the time lag that occurs in responding to the second stimuli, because first was still processing causes slowing down of the processing

Question 16

what is the single channel theory

Answer 16

suggests that a performer can only attend t one thing at a time
info is processed sequentially one after the other

Question 17

how does attentional switching occur in the single channel theory

Answer 17

by transferring attention from one situation to another
can only be done if each situation requires small attentional capacity

Question 17

what is anticipation

Answer 17

abaility to predict future events from early signals

Question 18

what is temporal anticipation

Answer 18

pre judging where and when future event will be

Question 19

how does anticipation affect performance

Answer 19

RT can be sped up if performer can learn to anticipiate certain actions
good performers start running motor program before stimulus is fully recognised

Question 20

how to improve response time

Answer 20

detection of the cue- stimulus is sorted from back ground noise
decision making
concentration
controlling anxiety
warm up

Question 21

what is schmidts schema theory

Answer 21

sports performers can undertake so many actions with very little concious control.
LTM isnt big enough to store all motor programs required

Question 22

WHAT DOES THE SCHMIDTS THEORY SUGGEST

Answer 22

generalised motor programs exist which can be modified by taking in info, whilst skill being performed
bigger the schema the more efficient the movement
feedback is important

Question 23

what is the recall schema

Answer 23

-quick movements
- consitis to all the info needed to start relevant movement
- this includes knowledge of court, surface and postion
performed with no feedback

Question 24

what are the two sections of the recall schema

Answer 24

knowledge of environment
response specifications

Question 25

what happens in the knowledge of environment in recall schema

Answer 25

consider playing conditions
positions of the team mates
condition of equipment

Question 26

what happens in the response specifications in the recall schema

Answer 26

speed and force required
size and shape of movement
techniques and styles used

Question 27

what are the two types of schema

Answer 27

recall
recognition

Question 28

what happens in the recognition schema

Answer 28

info needed to correct errors and remember correct performance
info about evaluating response
snesory consequences- feeling+look
response outcome- results of performance

Question 29

ways to improve schema

Answer 29

perfect practice makes perfect
repeat skill
repetition of any info or skill will enable to be remembered
